Illegal Crosse-Occurs when a player uses a crosse that does not conform to required specifications.A

crosse may be found illegal if the pocket is too deep or if any other part of the crosse was altered to gain an advantage (In addition, the penalized player may not use the illegal crosse for the remainder of the game). A head must also not be too pinched so the lacrosse ball cannot come out.

in contact with his crosse.

Other Illegal equipment-not having a mouthguard, or not having it in the mouth, open ends on the shaft of

the stick (no butt end), no shoulder pads, no arm pads (in most leagues, goalies do not have to
